Should you get a Roommate?

Roommates. Can’t live with them. Can’t live without them. There are many pros and cons to getting a roommate. Let’s take a look at just a few:

PROS:

Save money! In many instances it is definitely cheaper to split rent for a two bedroom than it is to pay for a one bedroom on your own.

Divide up the chores! Who wants to have to clean an apartment all by themselves? Having a roommate helps because you can split up the work.

You won’t be lonely! It’s nice having someone else in the house to hang out with.

CONS:

Lack of privacy! Living with someone else definitely means you can’t wander around the house in your underwear.

Less quiet! People make noises, some louder than others, and you’d have to get used to the weird noises your roommate might make.

They could be messy! While a roommate will help you clean, they will also help you make a mess and you’ll have to be okay with other people’s messes.
